Any Recommendation of a Good Maid Agency
-
I was planning to replace my maid of 6 months and went back to my maid agency, only to find out that they have closed down and it’s a completely different owner.
Does anyone had similar experience or can advice me what to do? I would imagine most agency does not want to pick up another agent’s problem.
I contemplated on keeping my maid and try to ignore the existing problems but it re-surface every now and then. Am really quite tired. If I transfer her to another family, what will happen to her loan since she hasn’t finished paying? -
Hi,
Just wanna share with you about this agency "Global Recruit & Elevation Centre Pte Ltd" at Peninsula. Do not take any maid from this agency. They’re very dishonest about their maid’s employment history ! I recently confirmed 1 ex-sg maid from them claiming that she has worked in SG 2 yrs with 1 employer but was shocked to find out that she has changed 7 employers instead ! I quickly called the agency to cancel her permit before she arrived SG. I did not take any maid from them after that as there was no bio data suitable. They refused to refund my agency fees claiming it’s not their fault. Am angry that the agency is not truthful and the maid is back to SG to work again and by the same agency as well ! -

I think most of the maid agency tell like that.cos they tell the truth nobody hire the maid then how they do earn?I had same experience with my ex-maid.The agent said she had been worrking 2 years under one employer.After we hire only we got to know that we went through her passport.The agents support to maids thats why we owners suffer by maids.If they choose correct people and train proper attitude to them then we can reduse our stress.I don't know if the owners treat them well also they don't want to work for the owners.They want to cheat the employers.The agency name is \"Smart maid Agency\".Hi,

I think this case can complain to MOM because the agency can verify by checking on the maid's employment history before advising the client what to do.Hi,

at least she called.
heard of cases the maid just did not return, wasted trip to airport, wasted reaction time to source for new one.
sounds like what just happened to my family. )): -
If you are hiring an ex-SG or transfer maid, you MUST first check her employment history at the MOM site for yourself.
-
Hahah, apparently most of the replies are, recommended agencies you DONT go to… so, im chipping into the crowd.
I just had a bad experience with this agency at orchard road "Super XXXXXXXXX Specialist"
We relied on them for info regarding maid on home leave (maid still under contract) but agency is not updated. Didnt know that maid need KTKLN. Indo Embassy (when we went to get tax endorsement) also didnt inform us. Maid is now in Indo, stuck and cannot come back. She went to airport but was stopped at custom. So maid decide not to come back. Maid also cannot be contacted.
Essentially I feel that the contract is useless. It doesnt protect both parties, mostly the maid. but the contract has no real effect in any way. So disheartened… -
If only have the maid’s name but no WP no. can we still check on their history?
-
No, unfortunately; the WP number is necessary. Also you must already be a registered employer to gain access to the site.
The agency should supply you with her WP number. If they refuse, ask them to access the site in front of you and print out the history.
You can also ask the maid you are interviewing for her WP number. -
You should be able to access WP Online as long as you have a Singpass account. You don't necessarily have to be an existing employer to access the site.. since prospective employers can also login to the site to check on FDW's work history... But yes, WP No. is a requirement... :roll:
